not really worth the set , if you go for dps you better go non-set items.

As a raiding mage, I have used this item through MC and BWL and into AQ40. It is not the greatest of pants, but I do recommend it for those who want a good pair of pants that are not very hard to get. It drops off Magmadar (usually the second boss in MC, it depends on which way you go), at roughly a 15-20% rate.

Stat-wise, this item is great. It has a good amount of intellect and stamina, and a decent amount of spirit. It also gives you an extra 10 shadow resistance, which can be very valuable in some of the encounters in MC. When it comes to the spell damage, however, this item is a bit lacking. It only provides an extra 20 spell damage and an extra 14 points to your critical strike rating (1% in the old system).

In my opinion, this item is worth getting if it drops. Granted, netherwind is better (and if you're looking for a very good pair of damage pants, you might want to try to get Leggings of the Black Blizzard off Ossirian the Unscarred in AQ20), and if your guild can kill Ragnaros (who drops all of the tier 2 pants), I highly recommend that you take that over this.
